No lah. We didn't do a proper survey at that time.

Went to home fair and bought it there. Lesson learned. Never buy at those fairs.

how much for high pressure gas tank?

Seems ridiculous to want to opt for a stove that can't function in a black out

That is scary.....😮

Ok, thanks for the info. Will go view the models tomorrow and make a decision.

I've been using induction hob for > 10 years.

The only problem is you have to use suitable pots. I'm using WMF pots.

I don't know why some here say gas stove is more efficient. A lot of heat is wasted when using gas stove and this certainly affects efficiency.

Use induction cannot toss the wok. Also need to standby a plug.

Use gas for less headaches. Gas very less chance to spoil as not dependent on electronics

4 years and still on induction with daily cooking. Kitchen also not hot while cooking , and for high rise, no need to pening for delivery and limited space to put the gas.

And most people experience is on portable induction, which is not as good as those proper build in induction. Took a while to adjust to induction, but once you’re used to it, wont miss gas.

Best part, kitchen not hot while cooking, cleaning, spray and wipe on flat surface and the timer function when boiling or steaming something.

But as with all electrical appliance, yes one of the coil rosak, but manage to claim under warranty and still going strong. Also need to invest in good cooking tools, but with carbon steel and stainless steel pan / pot, one time investment je

Induction works differently from microwave.

Induction does not heat foods directly like microwave but using magnetic wave to heat up the cooking utensils which must contain iron. Google it.

It's true, but deep fryer need at least 1L oil

Hi TS, may refer to previous discussion here
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5458072&hl=

No wonder you think ceramic is better, you don't even understand the basic science behind it all

Induction uses magnets to heat up the iron in the pans, not the food. That's why you need to get the right pans. Who dafuq teach you it heats up the food? The material isn't blocking the induction, the wrong material doesn't have the iron to heat up the pan

Ceramic is the most sohai implementation of a hob.

So much energy is lost between transferring heat through the ceramic, why heat up the ceramic first if you can just directly heat up the pan? Total waste of energy, damn inefficient.

Ive been using induction for over 6yrs edy. Cook daily. Those saying no wok hei or food taste different or whatever shyt definitely dun even know how to cook. I manage to get wok hei using induction + stainless steel pot.

Pros for induction hob:
1)cooking speed is damn fast, easier to clean the cooktop. Wont consume much electricity as expected.
2)U can control the temperature/heating element like gas cooktop. The only thing is probably u need some trial n error to get use to controlling the temperature.
3)can set timer
4)no gas tank. No risk of explosion or gas leaking.

Cons: only specific pots/pans can be used. Cant cook if no electricity.

As for ceramic cooktop, it's almost the same as gas cooktop. Works on all types of pan and pots. Slower than induction in terms of cooking speed. But best for simmering soup compare to induction. And, with timer too.

My suggestion, better to get cooktop with both induction n ceramic.

another cons is have to pull wire. Some ppl based stove on yard, if the sole socket point is for the washing machine which is on the opposite side, then have to find creative ways to pull wire from the kitchen area.

also good power management on the same note, simply use stove and other devices together might overload

If the 3 induction stove types are all in use, would that be an issue? Was told that as long as the plug point is a 15A, that is adequate.

My induction+ ceramic cooktop seems to be programmed to not both function at max power.

6, 4 is the "maximum tolerance". Increase the 6 to 7 will force the other to be 3, 8 will force other to be 2. So there seems to be some safety mechanism

Have to use proper copper wire too

Electricity not high meh?
